A Soldier's silent thoughts
Rest in peace to all those soldiers who lost their lives in the wars
Fighting for this country
trying to keep it from being destroyed
Their courage will motivate those future soldiers to this day
I hope I can be as courageous as they
Although I have taken the first step and joined
My true test of courage
Has not yet been shown
It is those people who have flags next to their graves
That reminds me of why I have so much freedom to this day
I hope one day I can say to the future generation
It is only after you have given it your all that you can truly call yourself a soldier
a Soldier's christmas:
I look around this house that I now call my home.
I glance in the mirror realizing my heart has turned to stone
My soul that glowed throughout me is as hidden away as can be
I am a proud heartless soldier
I know that clearly
I pray every night that my heart still goes on
Even though its ice cold from all the pain I have caused
On this cold Christmas day I turn to the window
Seeing a father embracing the love he has for his daughter
It was then that my face decided to smile
And although I am alone I am at peace with myself
For sadness can never take away the joy I just felt
I curl on my poncho
Trying to turn the floor into a comfy bed
I can happily say merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night
